Kudle Beach is a laid-back shoreline that pleasantly surprises visitors with its peacefulness, clean waters, and inexpensive shacks. Enjoy a swim in the sea, walk by the shore, or watch the golden sunset from a nearby hill. There are several budget accommodations around the beach, making it a great place to spend the day without straining the wallet.
Start your day with a visit to the Mahabaleshwara Temple, a centuries-old temple that showcases the cultural heritage of Gokarna. Marvel at the intricate carvings, colourful illustrations, and unique architecture of the temple. Continue your trip to Half Moon Beach, an ideal spot for the budget traveller where you can sunbathe, swim and indulge in delicious seafood at one of the local cafes.
Your last day would start with a visit to the pristine Om Beach. It is one of the iconic pictures of Gokarna, the beach is shaped like the symbol of “Om” and is an excellent place to relax, sunbathe, and try your hand at adventure water sports. The last attraction to visit on this inexpensive journey through Gokarna Mirjan Fort was built in the 16th century and was once a significant centre of the spice trade. The fort has a large moat and a magnificent entrance gate which will bring you back to the time when the Portuguese came to Gokarna.
For tourists traveling on a shoestring budget and having some extra days in Gokarna, you could add some other places to your itinerary, including the Bhadrakali Temple, Paradise Beach, Yana Caves and Gokarna Beach. For those who want to shorten their trip, you could eliminate the visit to Mahabaleshwara Temple and Mirjan Fort from your itinerary, and spend that extra time at the beach.
